Water-activated power generating device with vents

Abstract

A water-activated power generating device comprising a silicon slice having a cut, a first water storage element, and a fixing ring sandwiched by the silicon slice and the first water storage element and having an inner space. The water-activated power generating device further comprises a conductive rod penetrating the silicon slice, the fixing ring, and the first water storage element. The water-activated power generating device further comprises an electrode structure having a hollow cylinder shape and an isolation film disposed adjacent to an inner surface of the electrode structure. Electrolytic powder is disposed in a space between the isolation layer and the conductive rod; and a bottom conductive plate is disposed at the bottom of the electrode structure and electrically connected to the inner surface of the electrode structure.
